I recently watched an instructional youtube video in which the guy suggested pitching your yeast immediately before taking your hydrometer reading, then saving the hydrometer beer sample in a 2nd container and reusing it for your hydrometer readings throughout fermentation. His explanation was that the sample would ferment at the same rate as your 5gallon batch and would provide the same readings. This would save you the risk of infecting your batch by repeatedly taking samples from your fermenter.
Does anyone see any problems with this method?
Thanks
